You think love at first sight is a joke? A hoax? Want in on a little secret? You’re lying to yourself. I am living, breathing proof that love at first sight exists. Marlie Francis Quinn is my best friend. She has been my best friend since the summer before my senior year of high school. That summer changed the course of my life. She’s a fireball with dark curly hair. She’s too smart for her own good with a tendency to talk too much. We’re going to get married and live happily ever after. The only problem? She refuses to admit it. We shared one full summer of flirting, touching and teasing before she had to leave for college. One wild night of sneaking into the wine cellar where we both allowed ourselves to be young and stupid. One night when we gave into the one thing we so desperately wanted. Then she was gone, she disappeared into the night without a word…for nearly six years. Now she’s back. I want to hate her, but she stole something from me that night. She stole my heart. She left me with no choice. I’m taking it back, and I’m bringing her with me. Copyright © 2022 by Nicole Dixon - All Rights Reserved Lucky Thirteen Publishing, LLC
